Yo! Bum Rush the Show


I went to the Public Enemy gig Thursday. Yes, it's cliche and repetitive but THEY ROCKED! Chuck D and Flava Flav were in full form. Terminator X was sadly absent as he has retired from the group. Also on stage were the S1Ws (I'd prefer hip-hop dancers such as at the Whodini show in Seattle 1987), bass player, guitar player and a drummer. So they really did rock, not only rap. Ahh but the rapping was the highlight. And I was right up front getting crushed at the feet of these lyrical, rhythmical wizards. Afterward, Brian and I actually walked home. The show was at the Forum in Kentish Town, just a little over a mile from our flat. I love living in London!
